Historical context
The Final, Op. 21, stands as one of the six great organ pieces from Franck’s second musical period, bearing opus number 21, as a book describes. This work, the Final in B flat major, approximates to first-movement form and is particularly interesting for its firm, Beethoven-like structure. A graceful second theme contrasts with the first, and an important development leads to a forceful peroration, according to the same book.
